FACILITATORS TRAININGTo reach the stage as an adult educator isn’t always easy, but success isn’t just for the naturally gifted. It is possible for all of us who put eff ort into our personal growth and development, because we want the enormous satisfaction that comes from working with others to help them reach their potential as human beings. Some say: “Facilitators don’t teach. They create easy ways for others to learn and remember.” A facilitator is defi ned as “one who helps others learn or who helps make things easy”. A facilitator helps learners to collaborate as they explore a topic or issue. The goal is to encourage learners to think and participate. The facilitator may or may not be a content expert.

The phrase ‘soft skills’ is often used to describe the skills which characterise relationships and other people, or how you approach interactions.

For many people, the so-called soft skills are often some of the most difficult skills to develop. Job-related expertise (hard skills) are essential in any profession. However, over the last 10 years, understanding has grown that perhaps soft skills may ultimately be more important in determining levels of success.

Hard skills are a basic minimum necessity in order to operate in a particular workplace. Whether or not you are successful in your career may depend on how developed your soft skills are.

THE BENEFITS OF

ONLINE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Forget about attending classes for hours, sitting in an uncomfortable chair, and suffering from back pain by the end of the day. You will not be bound to physical class sessions when you opt for online education. All learning materials are provided online, so you’ll easily access them from the comfort of your home.

A self-paced system enables learners to make progress with a rhythm that suits them. This does not require attending live sessions; you can access the materials at any time that works for you. If you have to work or take care of your home and children during the day, you can study at night. That’s an advantage the traditional educational system cannot beat.

The fact that online programs are cheaper when compared to the ones held in a traditional campus setting is enough to convince you to consider them. The average tuition for online courses depends on multiple factors, so it varies from one program to another. Take note, free courses don’t usually come with certificate of completion.

It doesn’t matter where your career stands at this moment; an online program will always look good on your résumé. It will show potential employers that you’re committed to learning and you’re eager to obtain more knowledge and new skills. You will certainly become a better candidate for a job promotion.
